Bad lawyer joke
Christian Century, April 19, 2005
> BAD LAWYER JOKE: People who like to tell disparaging jokes about lawyers sometimes quote Shakespeare's Henry VI, Part II: "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers." But context is important: the line is said by a henchman for a would-be tyrant. Shakespeare's point is that the lawyers are the ones standing in the way of anarchy and mob rule, and if you want to be ruled by a tyrant and not by law, then you should kill all the lawyers (Chicago Tribune, March 22).
